I’ve always been gregarious, outspoken, and very extroverted. My wife, on the other hand, is very quiet and introverted. When I met her, I used to think she was shy and maybe lacked the confidence to speak up like I did. couple years of being together has shown me how very wrong I was. While I have always bounced back and forth between lack of confidence and overconfidence, my wife has been very even keeled. Almost unnaturally so. she doesn’t get fazed by what people say. Her decisions are not dependent on what others think. she has such a deep-seated sense of self-worth that nothing seems to affect her. Slowly, I’ve come to realize that self-esteem has nothing to do with being gregarious/ extroverted or shy/ introverted. It comes from a place much deeper, from within yourself.
